U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- According to data collected by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF), U.S. International Trade Commission (U.S. ITC) data, Firearms manufacturers, and the Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Exportation Report (AFMER), modern sporting rifles like the AR 15 and AK 47 styled rifles are flying off the shelves.
Since 2020 over 2,798,000 modern sporting rifles (MSRs) were produced or imported. Since 1990 the data indicates a significant increase year over year of MSR production and/or import into America, resulting in approximately 24,446,000 in circulation to date. Interestingly, 1994 showed us a significant rate of increase in production due to the 94 “assault weapons” ban. 2020 showed us another boost in production and sales due to the nationwide left-wing riots that resulted in the burning down of buildings, assaulting of police officers and billions of dollars in damage.
NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi said, “The firearm industry responds to market demand and this shows that during the elevated period of firearm sales that began in 2020, this particular style of rifle is the top choice for law-abiding citizens for hunting, recreational shooting and self-defense.”
It would seem Democrats are the best gun salespeople in the World. This may explain why they are also working overtime to ban them.
So, what’s an excellent communist lawmaker to do when they see their policies having the opposite effect of their intentions? Well, double down, of course, because reversing course on policies makes too much logical sense. So while the Democrat-led Congress increases the incentive of MSR production to over 24 million, Joe Biden demands another so-called “assault weapons” ban with the new Democrat-driven H.R.1808. In an attempt to remove from the hands of Americans the very rifles they encouraged the production of through their failed policies, the political left is attempting to take another bite at the rotten apple of gun control. Never mind the fact that the first so-called “assault weapons” ban in 1994 did nothing to stop or even slow violence in America. That’s why it sun-setted 10 years later. The proposed list of firearms to be banned is extensive. See the full list here.
In a sane world, banning something you are simultaneously causing increased production of would be laughable. So, you have to ask yourself, does the left enjoy wasting time and money on Constitution-violating laws or are they just incapable of seeing the World the way real Americans see it.
Left-wing policies are conducive to gun sales because they instill fear in one form or another. Often fear of personal safety due to the lack of physical ownership of guns and fear of the reduced ability to purchase firearms in the future due to restrictive gun policies are the driving force behind sales and production increases.
So, while Democrats work very hard to create policies that ultimately increase rifle production sales, they must work twice as hard to push policies that reduce the number of rifles in America. They need to push the anti-gun fear campaign to keep their anti-gunners on board, and they need to push gun control to prevent their political opposition from having the empowerment the 2nd Amendment affords. Like most things they do, this too seems very ineffective and counterproductive to their agenda. That’s what happens when unconstitutional policies are the driving force of your ideology.
Would AR-15 style rifles be as popular today as they are if not for the gun grabbers’ incessant attempts at banning them? The irony here is the more Democrats push for gun restrictions that affect MSRs, the more MSRs show up in the hands of American citizens, forcing manufacturers to produce them at an increased rate year over year just to keep up pace with the demand. A couple of things are true. Democrats are saving firearm manufacturers a boatload of marketing and advertising cash, and they’re getting an overwhelmingly negative response to their policies by real Americans.

GMB – a big part of the problem with them is that they KNOW that they are fooling a huge number of sheeple – and they are doing it intentionally. A good example is the number of uninformed folks here in Texas who are supporting an effort to raise the age to 21 in order to be able to buy assault rifles, or just military looking guns. IIRC you already have to be 21 per NFA in order to buy select fire arms. I might be wrong on that but the point is that they ‘feel’ that an age restriction… Read more »
I thought I’d seen everything there was to see. But the other day I saw some real stupid. Two CONgress Critters one form RI and the other from GA that were under the impression that an Arm Brace on an AR-15 pistol in conjunction with the Buffer assembly of said firearm, turned same into a Machine Gun!
The spectators in the gallery were howling in laughter and amazement at this example of rampant stupidity!
The one from Georgia thought that Guam would “capsize” because the U.S. Navy was adding on to the base there.

Words and how they are used in sentence the democratic biggest strength Propaganda. Most folks have no idea what parts make up a working firearm. I have been shooting for my whole life each firearm is different and most parts do not exchange from one manufacturer to another. Aftermarket descriptions are misleading and can be used to incite more anti firearm legislation by those who no nothing about firearms.

Yep, they insisted they were right even after being corrected and challenged to look it up online. They are arrogant in their ignorance, it’s disgusting,
Nadler admitted he wants to ban firearms in common use, an unconstitutional act. My comment with the quotes is somehow held for approval…
He’s a Nadler!
OpeTEX loves Nadlers.
It’s beginning to look like the same moderators that operate at TTAG are working here. Maybe it’s because you comment to much. That is happening on the TTAG website.
Maybe, but TTAG often never clears pro-gun comments, without explanation, and I rarely post there. Here mine are always eventually posted & moderation is easily worked around.
I don’t have much of a censorship problem here… but I’ve been banned permanently from all sites owned by Wide Open Media like TTAG. I caught WOM trolling their own commenters and said so openly. That turned out to be an unpardonable sin, according to WOM. Not they they ever said so openly, OFC. They just banned me and even forbid others to say my username. “I haz a question” can verify that. He had a post deleted just for saying; “knute? You around?” I used TOR to change my ISP and renamed myself: “Voldimort”. He that must not be… Read more »
Well there. That only took a week to make it through moderation. I’m glad I took it upon myself to figure it out a whole lot quicker than that! 🙂
And now even my reply is held for moderation. No links, so it must be either the words Wide Open Media, or perhaps the acronym WOM or TOR.
Nope, those went right through w/o being held up. Perhaps “censorship” is the key word?
Maybe the username “I haz a question”???
banned permanently????
Yep. Those are the hold up words. One cannot say the word banned. At least not in the same sentence with the word permanently.
Not even by separating them into two sentences. The workaround will need to be something misspelled sufficiently to confuse the algorithm. Perhaps “binned personally”?
Yep, that works. Just so long as the “a” is changed to an “i”… 🙂
band on the run…..
I’ll try: “Binned permanently”. Let’s see just how close I can get to the forbidden words… 🙂
Found it. Just say: “binned” instead of “b*nned”. A.I. indeed. Artificial, to be sure, but not very intelligent… 🙂
And the sheer number of my posts here would tend to preclude the idea that the moderation is based upon number of posts. If that were the case, my posts should have faced more censorship as this has gone along, instead of me finding the workaround for the word: b a n n e d …
And just look at the votes now! We’re winning big, and the trolls are losing badly. We have the real manpower. All they have is sham shows and fearmongering. Let’s grow right on past them as if they don’t exist… which in a very real sense they don’t! 🙂
Knute Knute: Does AL have any clue how dumb “Awaiting for moderation” reads? I just had a post stuck an hour ago, no reason I can figure. Putting “gun free” in quotes? Hyphenated adjectives? It’s short, my 2nd post today, and I’m low volume compared to many. See 2nd PP.

“Ope” is the one doing it. Lurking-stalking 24-7, >= 8 fake identities like TEX, I suspect probly more like 20, even a few he sometimes kabuki-fights with for attn. Can’t DV us all or it pisses everyone off. So, focus on a few, like myself & JSNMCG, punish to a lesser extent those who are civil with or agree us. But, currently sucking up to you: his occasional divide & conquer M.O.
In re what seem to be personality-literacy-vileness fluctuations, someone pointed out multiple people may take turns running his sock posse, like an agency, thus the 24-7 instant DVs/UVs
No, down votes for Russn is because of him belittling almost everyone on here and his smart, a double s, arrogance succeeds him.
Not even close to most, let alone “almost everyone”. Can’t stop lying, can you? “Belittling” translation: Defending myself from a posse of sock-shills run by TEX, and exposing your hero Workman’s betrayal of the reformers in 1997 – which put the “Winning Team” grifters in charge to bankrupt & very likely END the NRA, by which his SAF-related groups have benefited enormously. So you shoot the messenger. Instead of trolling & whining, ask Dave why he never apologized. I’m happy to forgive, but he won’t even admit it was a mistake.
BS. Your sock posse is the main culprit, TEX. How many fake accounts do you have now? I know of at least 8.
I’m sure if you got them in a talkative mood they’d say banning 24m guns would be “a good first step.” Every chunk of “common sense gun safety reform” I’ve ever seen passed or proposed has been touted as “a good first step.”
The only conclusion I can come up with is that either they have short memories or they can’t count past the number “one.”
What they say is true, you eat an elephant one bite at a time.
Hangun Inc was actually outspoken about this when they first formed in the 80’s. They proudly proclaimed that if they couldn’t do it in whole that they would continually chip away until they achieved their goal of complete bans and subsequent confiscation.
At least they were honest and didn’t hide behind minced words, made up vernacular, and “I believe in the 2nd, but…”
Hey now, I support common sense gun control reform. However I oppose common nonsense gun control as we typically see proposed. Common sense tells us that a shorter barrel yields lower muzzle energy and that even the shortest barrel rifle is not concealable. Thus is would be common sense to remove SBR and SBS from NFA. Common sense also tells us that hearing protection is critical. WTF are suppressors in NFA? Yes I understand the poaching argument for initial inclusion, but regardless of whether that was reasonable at the time is now nonsense. So many other examples of where common… Read more »
Many probably noticed this list is a repeat of many arms that were on the 1994 list. Many long since out of production. Some really cool stuff slipped thru the cracks. Just the same, American citizens will keep their powder dry, firearms cleaned and ready. We are the best internal defense the country has.and only a suicidal government would ever attempt confiscation. Our 2A is of the greatest importance both against foreign and a very possible domestic enemy.
Stop using the term assault weapon it is as bad as gun violence both are ideologies that work against gun owners. A rifle is a rifle bolt action or semi auto still a rifle. A combat weapon is fully automatic and not sold to the general public.
There in is their lie !!!!!!
That is what the “” were for.
Also stop calling them MSR’s. Sporting isn’t what is protected by the 2nd. I don’t care if they call them weapons of war. Every weapon can and will be used in war. Weapons of war are protected by the 2nd, per Miller. We should all be “sporting” M-4’s and SAW’s…
Figures NSSF quislings call them MSRs.
still an m14 or ma duce kind of guy
Just so we are clear: there is nothing extra scary or inherently more dangerous about “fully automatic” weapons. I would not have felt under armed in Iraq had my carbine been semi auto; and we are working hard, fighting hard, to return selective firing weapons to the general public.
With over 2 million MSRs being sold in the last year, I think the estimate of 24 million is low by more than half. Threaded barrel? Suppressors would be useless. Magazine over 5 rounds? I think an estimate of 50 million would be closer.
Agreed- I was thinking the same thing…
Same here.
From parts of the definition I’ve seen, I think you are way too low. They basically include any semiauto capable of accepting a magazine over 10 rounds. In other words pretty much everything but a few pocket pistols, revolvers, pump or break action shotguns, and an assortment of bolt, lever or break action rifles. I’m thinking closer to 400M.
Finn – don’t forget that many (most?) lever action rifles and some shotguns hold more than ten rounds. Those would likely be next on the chopping block. Even muzzle loaders will eventually be on their list even though that is all they claim us mere mortals are ‘allowed’ by the Constitution.
Democrats continue show their arrogant stupidity, This is not ignorance just plain old stupidity.
Or… perhaps part of a secret agenda?

Congress can shove their bill where the sun don’t shine. A dozen cases over 200 years firmly state that Congress cannot ban arms in common use, and that they are protected by the 2nd. We will never comply with their unconstitutional garbage, which cannot even be called laws as they are not: what is repugnant to the Constitution is not law.
and people will have to be willing to shoot local police
After seeing numerous videos proving their intentions, aren’t you ? lol
police will never win that war and by making enemies of the people they endanger the very republic. …with out law and order a republic can not stand
a republic requires trust and mutual respect to exist, we do not have mob rule contrary to what happened in demon crat cities last summer rules must be equatible and agreed upon based on a framework,in our case the constitution which is supposed to be respected. when government attacks the framework and exempts itself from punishment it is time for change
they have been getting shot and killed at a higher rate than ever with less offenders getting caught ,and people are not turning in the shooters even with huge rewards , we are already sliding down the slope ,without big changes fast it will get out of control
look at the numbers leaving the job numbers are dropping no one is replacing them, if the police wont back the community, the people wont back them …you understand unsustainable
they passed this bill knowing it does not meet constitutional muster to thumb their noses at scotus
Sounds like the “DemonKats & Their Allies” ought to enjoy their last cup of tea before “Americans” start dumping it overboard!
The tree of liberty is getting very dry. FJB

Honest and law abiding are afraid to carry.often even with a license. The criminals are no longer afraid of cops or victims.
That’s the plan being forced on America.
Never mind that more homicides are committed with hands and feet than with long guns. Reality doesn’t matter to a lefty-loony.
many more deaths by drugs than guns
24.5M serialized rifles. Lets not discount the unknown volume of home-built, or 80% AR rifles that have been built. I have a pretty small social circle, and there’s probably 100 80% builds among them.
Good point re: “ghost guns”! I hadnt considered them! Seems obvious we need more of them…
Not to mention the serialized ones prior to ’68 that were not recorded,such as M1 Carbines and other similar types. There has to be at least a few dozen of those critters floating around as well ;-).
Let’s think about this for a moment. Over 24 million weapons in the hands of conservatively estimating 20 million citizens. How many Federal LEOs (govt. thugs) and how many state and local LEOs are there that are stupid enough to obey orders to confiscate those 24 millions weapons from millions of owners and believe there won’t be a resulting blood bath? By any stretch of the imagination, it ain’t happening! Even if the bill passes and is signed into law, you have to have people willing to obey on both sides for it to work and neither side, for the… Read more »
But these traitor thugs WILL obey and Americans will lye down, suck their thumbs, grumble and comply. It’s exactly what you have to lose that is the problem. The last time there was a successful armed uprising in the US was Athens Tennessee +/- 1946. The people had no wealth and they had nothing to lose. The difference between then and now is the surveilence state, the increasingly unconstitutional tyranical draconian laws and lack of due process. In 1945 the .gov could not track your movements, they did not have access to EVERYTHING YOU OWN and EVERYONE YOU KNOW. They… Read more »

It was enforced for 10 years. Enforcers did obey orders.
Similar laws are being enforced in certain states today. Enforcers do obey orders.
“They” don’t have to go door to door. They will just enforce the law against the people they don’t like and the people on the list they are given. That will intimidate the rest.
There are enforcers/retired enforcers who post on this site who would absolutely enforce this law against people they don’t like. They would do it with enthusiasm.
“They” = state police agency employees, sheriff department employees, and city/town police department employees.

“You can’t always get what you want”
Doesn’t matter what dems along with rinos wanted to do, even if is signed by brandon, the bill (law) itself will be challenged in the Supreme Court and we all know that they will have to declared its unconstitutionally and therefore, will be inapplicable.
Probably……….but……how long will all of that take?

Refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of congressional traitors.
The way to keep these cowardly treasonous assholes in line is to REQUIRE THEY PUBLISH THEIR HOME ADDRESSES as a condition of holding their insider trading franchise.
This proposed law is unconstitutional and void on it’s face. The legislative intent is unconstitutional.
Nadler cemented the unconstitutionality of the bill when he said the legislative intent was to ban commonly used firearms.
He did indeed, twice, and SCOTUS has repeatedly stated that commonly owned firearms are specifically protected. Going back 200 years. Nadler can stick his bill where the sun don’t shine.
Yes, it lacks substantive due process.
Let’s Go,Nadler!
The way to keep them in line is make them understand, clearly, and with ambiguity, they are subject to hanging or firing squad for violating their oath of office.
Yeah baby!! Now we are talking!! Add to the oath this last line: On pain of death.
something we can agree on and police take same oath
I did not know that police took an oath. Is it the same for every PD? County? State police? Is it the same as the federal oath? I only took an oath when I joined the Big Green Machine.
Maybe someone should deep dive into their & families finances ? I’m willing to bet a weeks pay they all have stocks in,
Guns
Oil
Drugs
Chinese companies
The proposed law is unconstitutional. Not simply for its potential outcome, but for its foundational intent, (as expressed by Jerry Nadler) to remove particular firearms from common use. That intent is not an authority granted to congress. A short recap of recent treasonous cultural behaviors: Wannabe hippies left over from the Carter inadequacy, were inherited by the “W” Bush administration, who then had to contend with State Dept. employees, who used purposeful incompetence to slow or embarrass a president, to which they disapproved.

I’ll be the first to admit, that I bought my First AR precisely because of the push for a ban during the Obummer years.

As I understand the current statutes, ALL “assault weapons” are ALREADY banned. Knives, bricks, firearms, fists, etc. cannot be used to assault innocent people. Assault Rifles were banned in 1934, and that ban is still in effect. (Yeah, I know. You can get a permit.) And I’m tired of people saying that an AR-15 is like an AK44. These are two entirely different classes of weapons; one is a common rifle and one is machine gun that hasn’t been made in 63 years. (Yeah, 1959 was the last year the AK44 was made, and interestingly enough, the same year the… Read more »
No, not much of that is correct. The NFA of 1934 is a tax on transfer (not a ban or a permit). Permit and ban is what the federal government elites want us to thing and get used to. So they can get their way more easily.
But it is a tax, based on Congress’s taxing authority and interstate commerce power. Those two theories applied to a Constitutionally recognized Right are highly questionable, but were upheld by a corrupt and elitist S. Ct.
A corrupt and elitist SC created via stacking by FDR in 1933! It’s all in the long out-of-print book: “The Real Franklin Delano Roosevelt” by Clark Kinnaird, Citadel Press, 1945.
“Americns have not had a presidential choice since 1932. Roosevelt was our man; every president since Roosevelt has been our man.” -Harold Wallace Rosenthal, Senior Aide and handler for then Senior Senator from New York, Jake Javits.
1934 was a registration, that is why it was found to be partially unconstitutional and would have been likely fully tossed but government did quick rewrite in 1968
Nadler was asked during the markup of the bill “would anyone on the other side dispute that this bill would ban weapons that are in common use in the United States today?” “Yeah, that’s the point of the bill,” the troll replied. He admitted he wants an UNCONSTITUTIONAL BAN. “So to clarify Mr Chairman, you’re saying it is the point of the bill to ban weapons that are in common use in the United States today?” asked Dan Bishop. “Yes, the problem is that they are in common use” Nadler stated. Boom! Heller could not have been more clear, that… Read more »
Yes, H.R.1808 is a Democrat-driven bill. The bill states: “It shall be unlawful for a person to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, a semiautomatic assault weapon.” If this bill becomes law, how will it be enforced? The SAPA laws are so incredibly weak they won’t prevent state, county, and city/town enforcers from cooperating with the BATFE to “enforce the law.” Those enforcers will get some of that sweet “task force” money. If a “civilian” objects after the fact, the enforcers are protected by not-so-qualified immunity (as well as their brothers in blue who will… Read more »
What is a “semi-automatic assault weapon”?
Look in the bill.
Do they define the term?
Of course. Dan Wos provided a link in his article.
The definition is so long that I could not paste it here. They are definitely after semiautomatic firearms, and many brands by name, but do not define the assault part. That leaves a tiny “void for vagueness” challenge, even if it becomes law.
The very threat of this will cause prices to go up.
Very hot again, today. There will be no peach crop this year, the horse pasture is turning to brown and dust bowls.
Despite Wallstreet’s best efforts, I managed to sell a stock and make $1700. That should help make up for the loss.
Many people here are selling off their cattle because the hay crops will be greatly diminished. I think that will help beef prices at first, for a while …. and then the shortages will come.
Beef is stronger on the retail side today up up up not the wholesale side. We are paying more Prime Beef is not to be found trading in the market on any level.
Hogs are in the pens in the South as the packer refuses to pay the price due to the high cost to raise the animal today Farmers are being squeezed on all ends by all players.
The packers in poultry are now dropping prices the bird flu continues to hurt poultry farmers. Turkey plants struggle price never been this high never.

They have to pass the bill so we can look in it.
It’s been publicly available for over a year:

Note that LEOs and retired LEOs are exempt.
If one traumatizes the head of another with a hammer which has a “black grip”, good balance and which a proficient user can cause to inflict rapid, repeated, strikes – does that style hammer become an “assault hammer” ?
Well, Congress seems to have changed the definition of assault rifle (a term that I never liked) to include a lot of guns that were not previously included in the definition. I’m not sure that gun owners agree.
Sooo … I guess … democrats and rinos might think so. And I’m not sure that carpenters would agree.
Wild – just a reminder that “assault rifle” has a legal and military definition, ‘assault weapon’ (an ambiguous term invented by Art Agnos) does not, which allows the gun banners to classify any gun they don’t like as one. The lame stream media loves to use the two terms interchangeably – which is specifically why josh sugarmann ‘popularized’ the use of ‘assault weapon’ – to confuse folks who are not knowledgeable about guns.
Sounds like one of those stupid comic book based movies that Holleywood has been churning out in recent years.
A semi automatic rifle I beat you with. lol
Last week I actually heard a newscaster, and this was a fox news affiliate, use the term “a semi automatic submachine gun”…..
Sure SOUNDS scary.
Don’t forget undocumented sponsor John Cornyn (“R”, TEXAS) !
Don’t forget who gave them the excuse for this latest massacre-driven gun control push in the 1st place by preserving “gun free” school zones in “Constitutional Carry”:
Greg Abbott (“R”, TEXAS) !
Dade Phelan (“R”, TEXAS) !
Like a whole other country !
(Uh huh. huh huh. huh.) !
I’m a little surprised they are bringing this up for a vote.
Yep. Thought they got the hint last time. Then again, they’ve imported & bred 100 million from corrupt gun control countries in the last 30yrs, now we have the Jihad Squad in Congress etc. Conservatives claim Californians bring their culture with them, but immigrants from other countries don’t.
Pelosi just pulled it from the calendar. It’s not going to be voted on (at least right now).
Apparently all hell is breaking loose among the Democrats (some don’t want to be on the record).
Finally you bring some good news.
Our Texas RINO scumbags are the worst of RINO scumbags; and I would not piss on John Cornyn to put him out if he was on fire.
Yes, we have bigger rinos because everything is bigger in Texas, ha, or so the saying goes!
Also, how does my already legally owned and posessed AR, AK, 10/22 or whatever suddenly have any form of participation in “interstate commerce”? The gubmint done been abusing that poor little clause for ever.
“Hell of a mess, ain’t it?”
“If it ain’t, it’ll do till one gets here.”
Yes, the Congress and executive branches have been abusing the interstate commerce clause. I think that the S. Ct. has been looking for a case on all fours to rein that in.
great write up, you nailed it!
